Welcome to Boon Hill is not your standard game. An afternoon spent walking between the gravestones reading the whispers of those that have passed. This is the experience Boon Hill promises to give. A graveyard simulator, a story of epitaphs, a tale of ghosts that haunt, a game with no goal – all valid descriptions of Boon Hill.

To put it as simply as possible, Boon Hill is a game about reading gravestones. The bulk of the game is just walking through a graveyard, reading epitaphs and thinking about who these people were and never will be again. There is no way to lose in Boon Hill. You can not be killed and nothing threatens you. But Boon Hill is not aimless. Boon Hill is about inferred stories, about the connections people have that continue even after they die. The graveyard tells many tales woven by those who've long since passed on: stories of love, life, sorrow, and joy, told over generations.

It's not for everyone. It's quiet, simple, and somber. Many would even argue it isn't a game. However, if you're the kind of person that would take an afternoon to explore a graveyard... Welcome to Boon Hill.

Features

Fancy, advanced 16-bit graphics! The kind of graphics you drooled over twenty years ago.

Well over two thousand individual graves and epitaphs! It's the whole point of the game, after all.

Several NPCs to interact with! At least more than two.

Crows! The graveyard has a lot of crows. It's as much a feature as anything else.

Figure out what's up with that weird goth chick! She's kinda creepy.

Virtual graveyard! Real depression! Feelings of depression are not guaranteed, but reading epitaphs is not known as a heartwarming pastime.

Lie in an open grave! Haven't you always wanted to do that?

Real-time mourning! You'll be able to leave flowers, and look sad. All in real time! Only three flowers allowed per visit of the grounds.

But mostly, Learn about the history of this town and the kind of people that lived there through the legacy they have left behind in the graveyard boon hill.
